About Me

Since the 1990s I have been very involved with fighting the military "don't ask don't tell" policy for gays in the military, and with First Amendment issues. Best contact is 571-334-6107 (legitimate calls; messages can be left; if not picked up retry; I don't answer when driving) Three other url's: doaskdotell.com, billboushka.com johnwboushka.com Links to my URLs are provided for legitimate content and user navigation purposes only.
My legal name is "John William Boushka" or "John W. Boushka"; my parents gave me the nickname of "Bill" based on my middle name, and this is how I am generally greeted. This is also the name for my book authorship. On the Web, you can find me as both "Bill Boushka" and "John W. Boushka"; this has been the case since the late 1990s. Sometimes I can be located as "John Boushka" without the "W." That's the identity my parents dealt me in 1943!

Bradley suggests that an attack could be more insidious than
generally proposed.

Devices that are powered off may be less vulnerable than
those in use. Maybe 25% of cars would
stall on the highway with some attacks (sounds like E1). But that could cause
real mayhem. Because the attack would be unprecedented and irregular and hard
to assess at first, a power like North Korea might be able to “get away with it”
for a while.

He describes an “experiment” that occurred in Kazakhstan and
caused a power plant go to on fire.

Solar systems might be partially susceptible to EMP.

He talks about the rather remote threat to heart pacemakers.

He explains the difference between a solar storm, which is
largely E3, with a typical EMP which might be largely E1 unless thermonuclear
weapons were used.

It is not likely that an effective EMP could be detonated
from an airplane.

Bradley suggests that an enemy like North Korea could try
more than one kind of attack in a short time period.

On Friday November 3, 2017 ABC 20-20 and Diane Sawyer broadcast
“ISIS in America”. This broadcast is
bound to get some official attention in Congress. A couple of the main links are (one) (two). Variety has coverage of the episode here.

(To see the ABC embed below, you may need to turn off https on your browser.)

Much of the narrative concerns the case of Justin Sullivan
in North Carolina (in Morganton), who grew up Catholic (was not an immigrant
and not a Muslim) but was recruited. Justin’s father was a Marine and turned him
in.

ISIS “gave him a place to belong”. But his perception had to do with a “death
cult” and feeling “powerless”. One of
the videos promises “no more humiliation” for “losers”. This seems to have to do with the idea that
in an open society where anyone can “show off” gratuitously online without
supervision, some will win and some will lose (just like in sports). That’s
just a consequence of logic (or "going to the root" as I used to say as a boy).

Part 3 of the ABC report mentions radiation detectors in New
York City (and biological) which are also used in ports. Part 3 also deals with the “dark web” and
right wing extremists as well as jihadism. There was talk of “hastag hijacking”.
It talks about “content war” (even
hijacking “Game of Thrones”). Sawyer
visits the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma, and the stories of two honor
students who fell into the trap.

Part 4 talks about targeting involving possibly Pamela
Geller. A defendant was “fat, failed
and a complete idiot”.

There is some coverage of Sayfullo Saipov, who had planned
is truck attack for weeks. Trump says
Saipov was a point of contact for 23 other questionable immigrants from
Uzbekistan.

Part 5 talks about a mosque in Miami that sheltered everyone
during Hurricane Irma.

Update: Nov. 6

The New York Times has an important pieceby Jim Rutenberg, the "Mediator", "A How-t on Terror I as Close as a Click: (print) or "Terrorism is faster than Twitter" (online). The links in this story need to be followed closely.

The report, for the first time ever, showed the innards of
an Air Force command center near or at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton,
Ohio, where North Korean missiles are studied and NORAD defense is simulated.

The upshot is that North Korea probably does not have a heat
shield that can survive reentry on an ICBM capable of reaching the US, but is
likely to have it by some time in 2018.

The broadcast showed some shorter range SCUD missiles
capable of hitting South Korea or Japan.
